Several years ago, as I began cultivating my ideas for CLOSE WRITING, I found my sleep pattern forever transformed. Almost every night, I dream lessons and conversations with learners and awake in the predawn hours with ideas bursting from my head. I have notebooks and scrap papers littering my bedside -inspiration overload. If I can release them to paper, I am often able to catch a few more zzzz’s, but more often than not, I’ve only opened the floodgates!

Fascinating!!
I notice I have lots of ideas in my morning shower and then I’ll jot while eating my breakfast. But I’ve never thought to keep pen and paper by my nightstand. Tonight I’m going to pay attention to my dreams!!
